With his Tourbillon Volant, Alain Silberstein challenged the conventions of high watchmaking—not by ignoring tradition, but by elevating it through an entirely new lens. A celebration of mechanical ingenuity and playful design, this limited-edition timepiece—number 095 of just 200—stands as one of Silberstein’s most ambitious horological statements. Crafted in France and housed in a robust stainless steel case, the Tourbillon Volant is water resistant to 100 meters, defying the fragility often associated with high complications. At the heart of this piece beats a flying tourbillon—one of watchmaking’s most revered feats—positioned at 6 o’clock, located in an openworked dial. The dial is alive with vibrant geometry: a red triangle for the hours, a bold sky-blue hand for the minutes, and a yellow pointer for the date, which encircles the center in a whimsical yet deliberate orbit. Each element reflects Silberstein’s architectural background and his embrace of Bauhaus principles—where function is art and emotion is design. In a world where mechanical virtuosity so often wears a solemn face, the Alain Silberstein Tourbillon Volant dares to smile. It is, quite simply, one of the most joyful expressions of serious horology—radical in design, uncompromising in execution, and deeply personal in spirit.
